WIRING DIAGRAM

INSTALL ELECTRICAL WIRING

1.  The Downdraft Blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires a 120 

VAC, 60 Hz circuit.

2.  The unit has a 18 in. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug. Plan 

to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow the 

unit’s power cord to reach.

IMPORTANT - LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLET:

If Model 59960 is being installed in a 30" wide cabinet...

- or -

If Model 59966 is being installed in a 36" wide cabinet...

...the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of cabinet.

In these cases, the width of the downdraft covers nearly the 

entire  width  of  the  back  wall  of  the  cabinet.  So  you  must 

either:

•  mount the electrical box to a side wall or cabinet    

floor - at least 12 inches from the back wall.

•  mount the electrical box to a wall stud behind the 

cabinet - where it will not be covered by the downdraft.   

Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of the  

cabinet.

3.  Mount a standard wiring box, with 3-pronged receptacle, inside 

the cabinet. Make sure the downdraft’s power cord can easily 

reach it.

4.  Run  appropriate  power  cable  into  cabinet  and  connect  it  to 

receptacle.

5.  Plug the downdraft’s power cord into the outlet.

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, per-

sonal injury or death - Disconnect electrical power.

INSTALL COOKTOP

1.  Align the cooktop with the downdraft and fasten cooktop in place.

NOTE

Accurate alignment of cooktop and downdraft is necessary to ensure 

that there is no interference when air vent is raised and lowered. 

There should be a gap of 1/32"-1/16" between the back of the cooktop 

and the front of the downdraft cover.

ADJUSTMENT

The downdraft is factory-adjusted for proper operation. However, 

shipping and handling may affect the position of the activating switch.
To adjust position of activating switch:
1.  If downdraft is plugged into electrical outlet, unplug it.
2.  Lift air vent straight up and cock it slightly so it remains in the UP 

position.

3.  Remove switch cover from right end of air vent.
4.  Loosen the 2 screws holding the switch bracket in place. Position 

switch bracket so that activating switch just comes in contact with 

underside of switch membrane. Tighten screws. 

5.  Replace switch cover, gently lower air vent into chimney, and plug 

in power cord. Re-connect electrical power and check operation.
